Cover Beach is a brand new feature by Stephanie from Books Paradise. I love covers and I must confess that I usually buy my books by the cover. Yes, I know it isn't as right as rain. Cover Beach is also a post about covers I love (regardless of I would buy it), sometimes about the difference between German and English covers and something along those lines.

'Cover Beach' will be post every Friday. To view all my Cover Beach posts click HERE.

This week two book covers belong to my favorites and of course I added both on my wishlist! A German one and an English book. At first the German:

Last but not least I have seen this beautiful Cover - Winterling by Sarah Prineas. My first impression was it reminds me a bit of the German book Winterwelt by Nicole Stoye. Well the blurb sounds similar too. But for all that I want to own Winterling.

Blurb: With her boundless curiosity and wild spirit, Fer has always felt that she doesn’t belong. Not when the forest is calling to her, when the rush of wind through branches feels more real than school or the quiet farms near her house. Then she saves an injured creature—he looks like a boy, but he’s really something else. He knows who Fer truly is, and invites her through the Way, a passage to a strange, dangerous land. Fer feels an instant attachment to this realm, where magic is real and oaths forge bonds stronger than iron. But a powerful huntress named the Mor rules here, and Fer can sense that the land is perilously out of balance. Fer must unlock the secrets about the parents she never knew and claim her true place before the worlds on both sides of the Way descend into endless winter. Sarah Prineas captivates in this fantasy-adventure about a girl who must find within herself the power to set right a terrible evil.
